Manchester-based AWS consultancy D55 wins at global web services championship

  • D55 wins Amazon’s first AWS GameDay championships 
  • D55 to collect trophy at AWS Re:invent in Las Vegas 

Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud consulting partner D55 has announced its win at the 2022 AWS GameDay World Championships. D55, which is based at Manchester Technology Centre, just off Oxford Road, competed in Amazon’s inaugural GameDay against 300 of the world’s top AWS teams. After successfully passing through three qualifying heats to reach the final, D55 was pitted against leading cloud consulting teams.

AWS GameDay is an interactive, team-based learning experience that places internationally recognised AWS experts in a sandbox environment, where their skills are tested by solving real-world problems in a gamified, risk-free tournament. Tasks are based on efficiency, effectiveness, risk control and adherence to best-practice guidelines, with each task stage accruing points.

D55’s title-winning performance places the company firmly on the map for tailored AWS solutions and bespoke IT strategies that aid businesses in utilising innovative cloud-based solutions.

D55, which specialises in helping businesses innovate their software delivery and infrastructure to drive increased efficiency and robustness, will receive the trophy at Amazon’s AWS re:Invent. This year the world’s largest AWS and cloud solutions event is hosted in Las Vegas, running from 28th November – 2nd December 2022.

Rhys Jacob, director and co-founder of D55, said: “We’re immensely proud of our team’s efforts at the 2022 AWS GameDay championships. We weren’t the most established best known AWS partner at the event, so it was great to enter as underdogs and secure the victory. Our win has solidified what our team and our clients already knew – that we possess the expertise and skills that match our ambitions of becoming a leading authority in the space.

“With 70% of businesses still using outdated on-premise hardware, events like GameDay are important fixtures for our sector to promote the benefits of AWS. We’re proud to be a part of a sector driving innovation for businesses globally, and we’re looking forward to celebrating at Re:Invent later this month”.
